Kerala Reaffirms Legal Framework for Aided School Hiring
The Kerala government is sticking to the rules when it comes to hiring teachers and staff at schools that get financial help from the government.
Minister V. Sivankutty said they'll follow the law, specifically the Kerala Education Act and Rules.
Some schools are protesting, but the government says schools are in charge of hiring.
The government's job is to approve those choices.
If there's a problem, the schools have to go to court.
The minister also mentioned a court case about hiring people with disabilities.
The government says it won't let anyone break the rules and that it supports both students, teachers and school's rights.
Kerala Minister V. Sivankutty reiterated the government's commitment to the legal framework.
The government's actions align with the Kerala Education Act of 1958 and Rules of 1959.
School managements are responsible for appointments, with government approval.
A case regarding differently-abled appointments has been pending since 2021.
Minister warned against politicizing the issue and disregarding court verdicts.
